emocracy Flyover:\nThe Arsenal of Democracy World War II Victory Capitol F
lyover will include 15 historically sequenced warbird formations traveling
across our nation’s capital—from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol. The
Flyover will feature over 70 warbirds [ED: including EAA’s B-17 – Aluminu
m Overcast!] representing the major battles of World War II\, from Pearl H
arbor to D-Day\, ending with a final Missing Man Formation to “Taps.” Neve
r before has such a collection of WWII aircraft been assembled at one loca
tion—a fitting tribute to the men and women at home and abroad responsible
for this Victory in 1945. The Flyover is set to start at 12:10 p.m. and l
ast approximately 40 minutes.\nFrom Warbirds News:\nAs part of a thrilling
three-day celebration in the nation’s capital\, the May 8 event will coin
cide with a ceremony for veterans at the World War II National Memorial\,
followed by a vast assortment of World War II aircraft flying overhead in
historically sequenced warbird formations. The formations will represent t
he War’s major battles\, from Pearl Harbor through the final air assault o
n Japan\, and conclude with a missing man formation to “Taps.”The event wi
ll also be commemorated in a special May issue of Air & Space magazine ded
icated to the airplanes and airmen who fought in World War II that will fe
ature historic “spotter cards” of the aircraft. These cards will be used b
y students and others to identify the aircraft in the flyover and to learn
more about the history of World War II.\nNOTE: Many of the aircraft parti
cipating in this historic event will be based at Manassas Regional Airport
\, including our own B-17 — Aluminum Overcast.

An historic event is planned
in Washington\, D.C. In honor of the 70th Anniversary of VE Day (Victory
in Europe)\,

The Arsenal of Democracy World War II Victo
ry Capitol Flyover will include 15 historically sequenced warbird formatio
ns traveling across our nation’s capital—from the Lincoln Memorial to the
Capitol. The Flyover will feature over 70 warbirds [ED: including EAA’
s B-17 – Aluminum Overcast!] representing the major battles of World
War II\, from Pearl Harbor to D-Day\, ending with a final Missing Man Form
ation to “Taps.” Never before has such a collection of WWII aircraft been
assembled at one location—a fitting tribute to the men and women at home a
nd abroad responsible for this Victory in 1945. The Flyover is set to star
t at 12:10 p.m. and last approximately 40 minutes.

As part of a thrilling three-day celebration in th
e nation’s capital\, the May 8 event will coincide with a ceremony for vet
erans at the World War II National Memorial\, followed by a vast assortmen
t of World War II aircraft flying overhead in historically sequenced warbi
rd formations. The formations will represent the War’s major battles\, fro
m Pearl Harbor through the final air assault on Japan\, and conclude with
a missing man formation to “Taps.”The event will also be commemorated in a
special May issue of Air & Space magazine dedicated to the airplanes and
airmen who fought in World War II that will feature historic “spotter card
s” of the aircraft. These cards will be used by students and others to ide
ntify the aircraft in the flyover and to learn more about the history of W
orld War II.

\n

NOTE: Many of the aircraft participa
ting in this historic event will be based at Manassas Regional Airport\, i
ncluding our own B-17 — Aluminum Overcast.

n will be about their experiences building these airplanes at home in thei

Dennis Crider is an aerospace engineer
who got his pilot’s license at Benton Kansas in 1980 while working for Be
ech Aircraft where he was first exposed to homebuilt aircraft and the EAA.
After working for Douglas Aircraft he returned to Virginia in 1995 to wo
rk for the NTSB where he currently serves as Chief Technical Advisor for V
ehicle Simulation. Like many\, he suspended flying activities and aircraf
t building ambitions to raise a family but started building his RV-12 in 2
010. His son Andrew is also a pilot and is very anxious to have the RV-12
available anytime the flying urge strikes.

\n

Glenn
Shields learned to fly in a Piper J-3 Cub at Laytonsville Airpor
t (W50) in 1978 using just a compass\, map and watch for navigation and ha
nd propping the engine as the Cub has no electrical system. Back then the
airspace around Washington was much simpler so his biggest concern during
cross country flights was that the map didn’t blow out the window. Flying
a Cub with the window and door open is a lot of fun!

\n

Soon after e
arning his Private certificate Glenn joined a small flying club flying Ces
sna 150’s at Manassas. Unfortunately a few years later the club folded but
he was hooked on flying clubs so in 1982 Glenn joined a member owned flyi
ng club at Leesburg – Continental Aviation Club. Now some many years late
r Glenn is president of this Club which owns a Beech Sundowner and over th
e years has earned his Instrument\, Commercial and Advance Ground Instruct
or ratings. His log books show over 2500 hours as PIC including 3 coast to
coast flights in the Sundowner and other trips tracing the route of the T
ransContinental Railroad and Lewis & Clark.

\n

About 2 years ago Gle
nn took the next step in his flying “career” buying a partially completed
RV12 from the widow of the deceased builder found in an ad he saw on Barns
tormers. Thru our EAA Chapter Glenn met Dennis Crider who lives not far fr
om him and is also building a RV12. He and Dennis will share their experie
nce of building their airplanes at home in their garage.

Chapter Membe
r and renowned EAA speaker/technical adviser Dick Koehler will do a presen
tation on the making of his EAA videos “Hints for Homebuilders”\, includin
g a video of some outtakes (bloopers). This will be followed by our 2nd An

k your calendars: EAA Chapter 186 will host both Aluminum Overcast\, the E
AA’s beautifully restored WWII B-17\, and a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor – a prime
example of the first commercial airliner – at Manassas Regional Airport Oc
tober 20-23\, 2016. Plan on taking a ride\, or just come out to watch them
fly and take a ground tour to enjoy a visceral\, up close and personal ex
perience of history! Online pre-booking at reduced rates for flights on bo
th planes will be available through the EAA website by May 7\, 2016. Both
planes will do media flights on Thursday\, October 20. Public flights will
start that same day for the Tri-Motor\, but the B-17 won’t open to the pu
blic until Friday\, October 21.\nThe Tri-Motor flight experience lasts for
about 30 minutes\, with the flight itself being about 15-20 minutes long.
The “Tin Goose” is a bargain at $75 ($70 if booked in advance online) for
adults and $50 for kids 17 and under\, and vividly demonstrates how much
air travel has changed from the days when these planes represented the hei
ght of class and elegance! Passengers remain belted in for the duration of
the flight\, but every seat is a window seat.\nFlights on the much bigger
\, heavier\, and more powerful B-17 are more expensive at $435 for EAA mem
bers and $475 for non-members ($409 and $449 respectively\, if purchased o
nline in advance)\, but they are unique because passengers are buckled in
only for takeoff and landing. The full experience lasts for about an hour\
, with the flight itself lasting about 25-30 minutes. As soon as the plane
is airborne\, the crew chief gives the signal for passengers to get up an
d move around\; mobility permitting\, passengers get to rove freely throug
hout the plane\, with everyone getting a few minutes in the bombardier’s s
eat in that glass nose\, being able to watch the pilots in the cockpit\, w
alking through the bomb bay to visit the radio room\, and stepping over an
d around the ball turret in the belly to take pictures in the waist with h
er twin 50-caliber machine guns. The only places people can’t go are into
the ball and tail turrets – which would be too tight for most modern peopl
e to fit into\, anyway!\nEAA’s B-17 was built at the very end of the war\,
coming off the line at the Lockheed Vega plant in Burbank\, CA on May 18\
, 1945\, so she never saw combat\, but she worked hard to earn her keep in
the years after the war. Her many careers included life as a cargo hauler
carrying beef from Florida to Puerto Rico from 1947-1949\; as a high-alti
tude aerial mapping platform in the Middle East and Near East\, logging ti
me over Libya\, Iran\, Egypt\, Thailand\, Laos\, Vietnam\, Cambodia\, and
more from 1949-1962\; and even as a bug bomber operating out of Dothan\, A
labama against fire ants from 1967-1976. Intending to fly her around the w
orld\, warbird enthusiast Dr. William Harrison bought her in 1978 and gave
her the Aluminum Overcast name\, but the real cost of restoring and opera
ting her prompted Harrison and his partners to donate her to EAA in 1981.
Restored to a WWII military configuration with the financial support of th
e 398th Bomb Group Memorial Association\, she began her current mission of
touring the U.S. as a flying history museum in 1994.\nAs October draws cl
oser\, Chapter 186 will be recruiting volunteers to help with the tour. Wa

DESCRIPTION:Join the Flight: The EAA B-17 Aluminum Overcast is Coming to Ma
nassas!\nMark your calendars: EAA Chapter 186 will host the Aluminum Overc
ast\, the EAA’s beautifully restored WWII B-17 at Manassas Regional Airpor
t Sep 28 to Oct 1\, 2017. Plan on taking a ride\, or just come out to watc
h her fly and take a ground tour to enjoy a visceral\, up close and person
al experience of history! Online pre-booking at reduced rates will be ava
ilable through the EAA website soon. \nFlights on the B-17 are $435 for EA
A members and $475 for non-members ($409 and $449 respectively\, if purcha
sed online in advance)\, and are unique because passengers are buckled in
only for takeoff and landing. The full experience lasts for about an hour\
, with the flight itself lasting about 25-30 minutes. As soon as the plane
is airborne\, the crew chief gives the signal for passengers to get up an
d move around\; mobility permitting\, passengers get to rove freely throug
hout the plane\, with everyone getting a few minutes in the bombardier’s s
eat in that glass nose\, being able to watch the pilots in the cockpit\, w
alking through the bomb bay to visit the radio room\, and stepping over an
d around the ball turret in the belly to take pictures in the waist with h
er twin 50-caliber machine guns. The only places people can’t go are into
the ball and tail turrets – which would be too tight for most modern peopl
e to fit into\, anyway!\nEAA’s B-17 was built at the very end of the war\,
coming off the line at the Lockheed Vega plant in Burbank\, CA on May 18\
, 1945\, so she never saw combat\, but she worked hard to earn her keep in
the years after the war. Her many careers included life as a cargo hauler
carrying beef from Florida to Puerto Rico from 1947-1949\; as a high-alti
tude aerial mapping platform in the Middle East and Near East\, logging ti
me over Libya\, Iran\, Egypt\, Thailand\, Laos\, Vietnam\, Cambodia\, and
more from 1949-1962\; and even as a bug bomber operating out of Dothan\, A
labama against fire ants from 1967-1976. Intending to fly her around the w
orld\, warbird enthusiast Dr. William Harrison bought her in 1978 and gave
her the Aluminum Overcast name\, but the real cost of restoring and opera
ting her prompted Harrison and his partners to donate her to EAA in 1981.
Restored to a WWII military configuration with the financial support of th
e 398th Bomb Group Memorial Association\, she began her current mission of
touring the U.S. as a flying history museum in 1994.\nVolunteers needed t

Join the Flig
ht: The EAA B-17 Aluminum Overcast is Coming to Manassas!

\n

Mark your calendars: EAA Chapter 186 will host the Aluminum
Overcast\, the EAA’s beautifully restored WWII B-17 at Manassas Regional A
irport Sep 28 to Oct 1\, 2017. Plan on taking a ride\, or just come out to
watch her fly and take a ground tour to enjoy a visceral\, up close and p
ersonal experience of history! Online pre-booking at reduced rates will b
e available through the EAA website soon.

\n

Flights on the B-17 are
$435 for EAA members and $475 for non-members ($409 and $449 respectively
\, if purchased online in advance)\, and are unique because passengers are
buckled in only for takeoff and landing. The full experience lasts for ab
out an hour\, with the flight itself lasting about 25-30 minutes. As soon
as the plane is airborne\, the crew chief gives the signal for passengers
to get up and move around\; mobility permitting\, passengers get to rove f
reely throughout the plane\, with everyone getting a few minutes in the bo
mbardier’s seat in that glass nose\, being able to watch the pilots in the
cockpit\, walking through the bomb bay to visit the radio room\, and step
ping over and around the ball turret in the belly to take pictures in the
waist with her twin 50-caliber machine guns. The only places people can’t
go are into the ball and tail turrets – which would be too tight for most
modern people to fit into\, anyway!

\n

EAA’s B-17 was built at the ve
ry end of the war\, coming off the line at the Lockheed Vega plant in Burb
ank\, CA on May 18\, 1945\, so she never saw combat\, but she worked hard
to earn her keep in the years after the war. Her many careers included lif
e as a cargo hauler carrying beef from Florida to Puerto Rico from 1947-19
49\; as a high-altitude aerial mapping platform in the Middle East and Nea
r East\, logging time over Libya\, Iran\, Egypt\, Thailand\, Laos\, Vietna
m\, Cambodia\, and more from 1949-1962\; and even as a bug bomber operatin
g out of Dothan\, Alabama against fire ants from 1967-1976. Intending to f
ly her around the world\, warbird enthusiast Dr. William Harrison bought h
er in 1978 and gave her the Aluminum Overcast name\, but the real cost of
restoring and operating her prompted Harrison and his partners to donate h
er to EAA in 1981. Restored to a WWII military configuration with the fina
ncial support of the 398th Bomb Group Memorial Association\, she began her
current mission of touring the U.S. as a flying history museum in 1994.
